voted to Tie up n Road.

BosTON, February THE employees
of the South Boston horse railroad, at
a meeting which lasted until 3 o'clock
this morning, voted unanimously to tie
up the road to-day, and in pursuance
OF this vote no cars were taken out this
morning. This is one of the largest
horse railroads in the city. The men
are opposed to the present superin-
tendent, and want ten hours work out
of a twelve-hour day. The difficulty
seems to be chiefly in making out time
tables. The company claims that it Is
impossible to arrange them so as to
give ten hours inside of twelve and the
proper time for meals.
